SABA E. MOORE, OF BRADFORD, PENNSYLVANIA.

SKIRT AND SHIRT-WAIST PIN.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Aug. 10, 1909.

Application filed March 7, 1908, Serial No. 419,776. Renewed January 14, 1909. Serial No. 472,370.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, SABA E. MOORE, a citizen of the United States, residing at Bradford, in the county of McKean and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Skirt and Shirt- VVaist Pins; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the characters of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.

This invention relates to new and useful improvements in devices for attachment to corsets for holding skirt bands from creeping up upon the corset and com rises various details of construction, com inations and arrangements of arts which will be hereinafter fully described and then specifically defined in the appended claim.

My invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is an elevation showing the application of the invention. Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the device removed, and Flg. 3 is a detail perspective view of the rear of the invention.

Reference now being had to the details of the drawings by letter, AA designate two bars which are pivoted together at A and each end of the bar is turned into a roll B carrying a pivotal wire B upon which a pin D having an eye at its end is mounted. Each bar A has a cut away or recessed portion E, in order to receive the eye of the in, as shown clearly in the drawings. A hoo r F is pivotally mounted upon the pin A and is adapted to engage over the upper edge of the band of a skirt, as shown clearly in Fig. 2 of the drawings.

In ap lying the device, the two pins D are passed t rough a portion of the corset adjacent to the meeting edges and disposed parallel to each other and upwardly pointed. The pins are preferably caught through the folds in which the reinforcing strips are held and the hook F is adapted to engage over the up er edge of the band of a skirt, thereby Ina ng it impossible for the skirt band to creep up over the corset, as the pins will prevent the bars A moving upward.

From the foregoing, it will be observed that, by the rovision of a device as shown and describe a simple and eflicient means is afi orded and which may be readily at tached to a corset and so arranged that the band willbe effectually held from moving up over the face of the corset.

What I claim to be new is An attachment to corsets for holding skirt bands corn rising two bars pivoted together at their en s, a hook mounted upon the pivot connecting the bars and. adapted to engage over the edge of a skirt band, one end of each bar having a recess therein and turned into a roll, a pivotal wire carried by said roll, a pin having an eye positioned in said recess and mounted upon said pivotal wire, as set forth.

In testimony whereof I hereunto affix my signature in the presence of two witnesses.

SABA E. MOORE.
